I still don't believe it is up to the task, for an experienced BMW user. The danger as I see it, once we get used to it, after already feeling a flawed drive, it will be .. "I wish I had specced the so and so".
Then it is all subjective, as has been said before. I personally don't always see standard suspension as more comfortable, I'm not alone in this either, a soft car can bounce and bob about, on some roads, and feel very uncomfortable and uncontrolled. Whereas a slightly firmer drive is more controlled and composed, therefore driver and passengers feel more comfortable and relaxed.
After experiencing the two different steering feels, the more precise one is the one I want to drive. I don't do 'vague' or 'numb' at mid position.
